UP 3985 in Dallas & Fort Worth
Posted by cefinkjr on Thursday, November 21, 2013 12:28 AM
No, UP 3985 isn't coming back to Dallas soon; at least, not as far as I know. I'm looking for somebody with a better memory or records than I have. I discovered some old 35mm slides I have of UP 3985 taken during its last visit to Dallas but, like most of my slides, they have no date or description. I recently had them digitized along with some other old film and I'm trying to organize things. Can anyone tell me the date of UP 3985's last visit to Dallas? Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

I wanna say early 2000s.  Look up "UP 3985 Super Bowl" on YouTube by UPsteam (SkipW).  It should have the date on that, and I believe it was heading to Dallas for the Super Bowl.

The video sayss  3985 was heading to Houston for the Superbowl in January 2004, so it's possible it was also in Dallas around that time, BTW  a great video,
